Hampton To Cut Back On Tax Assistance

HAMPTON — Starting Monday, the Hampton Commissioner of the Revenue will no longer handle the electronic filing of federal and state tax returns for non-Hampton residents.

Hampton residents will continue to be assisted, but the workload is too great to handle people from outside the city, said Ross Mugler, Commis-sioner of the Revenue.

"We've been doing it, and the crowds have been out the door all week," Mugler said Friday. "We're ending up not being able to take care of our own citizens. We wish we could do it, but we just don't have the staff resources at this time."

Mugler's office is open from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
